Benefits of technology

[0008]In embodiments of the present invention, the electrode is formed by thermal fusion bonding of the resin layer of the collector with the active material layer. This makes it possible to improve adhesion between the collector and the active material layer, prevent separation of the active material layer from the collector and reduce contact resistance between the collector and the active material layer

Problems solved by technology

However, the electrode with the conventional resin-containing conductive collector has the problem of high contact resistance between the resin-containing conductive collector and the active material layer.
Further, the lithium-ion secondary battery has the problem of separation of the positive or negative electrode active material layer from the resin-containing conductive collector under the application of stress as the positive or negative electrode active material layer expands and contracts due to absorption and release of lithium ions into the active material layer during charge / discharge cycles.

example 1

1. Preparation of Positive Electrode Slurry

[0112]A positive electrode slurry (viscosity: 2000 cps) was prepared by adding an appropriate amount of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as slurry viscosity adjusting solvent to a solid content of LiMn2O4 (average particle size: 5 μm) (85 mass %) as positive electrode active material, acetylene black (5 mass %) as conductive aid and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) (10 mass %) as binder polymer. The softening point and melting point of PVdF are 134° C. and 169° C., respectively.

2. Preparation of Negative Electrode Slurry

[0113]A negative electrode slurry (viscosity: 2000 cps) was prepared by adding an appropriate amount of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as slurry viscosity adjusting solvent to a solid content of hard carbon (average particle size: 5 μm) (85 mass %) as negative electrode active material, acetylene black (5 mass %) as conductive aid and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) (10 mass %) as binder polymer. The softening point and melting point...

example 2

[0126]A bipolar battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that collectors (thickness: 50 μm) were formed using polypropylene (softening point: 140° C., melting point: 155° C.) (70 mass %) as the polymer material and fine carbon particles (30 mass %) as the conductive filler.

example 3

[0127]A bipolar battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that collectors (thickness: 50 μm) were formed using polypropylene (softening point: 140° C., melting point: 155° C.) (90 mass %) as the polymer material and fine Au particles (average particle size: 10 nm) (10 mass %) as the conductive filler.

Abstract

An electrode includes a collector formed with a conductive resin layer and an active material layer formed on the conductive resin layer. The active material layer comprises an active material and a binder polymer, and the conductive resin layer is bonded by thermal fusion bonding to the active material layer.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application Serial No. 2008-324131, filed Dec. 19, 2008, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to an electrode and a production method thereof.BACKGROUND[0003]In recent years, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions has been sincerely desired for the purpose of environmental protection. The automotive industry has a growing expectation on the introduction of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) for the reduction of carbon oxide emissions and has increasingly developed motor-drive secondary batteries, which become key to the practical application of these electric vehicles. Among the secondary batteries, attention is being given to lithium-ion secondary batteries of high energy density and high output density.[0004]In the lithium-ion secondary battery, an electrode is generally formed by applyi...
